Hi Clay thanks for a very informative and an encouraging video My main concern is after doing this hack the swirl flaps should be locked in position so they dont move causing erratic power surges. I noticed on some vehicles the flaps are made of some hard plastic like looking material,I have come across some vehicles where the flaps break and end up on the piston head causing big damage to the valves as well in this case I would recommend removing the flaps completely blocking of the shaft holes in conjunction with this hack Also you mentioned that some sprinters dont have swirl flaps that's 100% correct im based in South Africa i noticed up until 2013 the om 642 motor's do not have swirl flaps. Once again thanks have a great day and be safe

Very helpful video. You look very familiar and experienced with sprinter. I have question, my crankcase breather valve is making a loud noise because of the blow by. I already changed the valve but the noise still there. What do you think is the cause of this problem?. I'm on a limp mode, but when I disconnect my o2sensor I get the power back. Thanks in advance.

Great video! Love the fun facts

This trick does not work on newer versions of OM642. I have not found a good reliable mechanic who can do that yet. Other people who have done it, still have the check engine light come up after a while. I still got the check engine light as well with a single code saying “Intake manifold runner stuck open”, that’s because I obviously left them open. On older OM642 engines, you could easily bypass the engine codes yourself with a simple 4.7K ohm resistor plugged into the swirl flap actuator connector but it doesn’t work with these later versions of the OM642 because the runner/rod that connects to all three flaps, has two notches build in that act as the flap’s “positioning sensor” which tell the ECU when the flaps are actually open or actually closed or semi open etc, and in older models these two notches are not there on the connecting rod/runner. That’s why it works there and all other youtubers making video how they found the holy grail but nobody shows how to bypass it on 2010 OM642 and up. On newer models the 4.7K ohm resistor will only bypass the swirl flap actuator/motor but the ECU can still see the “positioning sensors” which tells the actual open or close positions. There is no bypass for the flap’s positioning sensor. You can bypass the swirl flap motor because the ECU thinks it’s still running no matter what even though it’s broken but how can you bypass the flap’s positioning sensors when when the flaps at any given time need to be open or closed or semi open? It’s either working or not. The flap’s positioning contribute to the ECU’s calculations for more or less engine power. The only way to bypass the positioning sensors, is to install a small computer chip that tells the ECU “Hey flap’s are open... hey flap’s are semi open... or fully closed etc.”

Thank you so much for an amazing video

I love it! Clay's engineering takes over where MBZ's ended. Don't worry about smog tech seeing that the swirl motor is disconnected. My smog tech told asked me, "if I knew where the EGR valve was", as he was not familiar with diesel engines. Nice guy though!

Interesting fix. Have you thought about a installing an oil catch can to prevent misting and gunking?

I had to do this with my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee it has the Mercedes v6 CDR , I initially was told that due to a bad turbo gasket which sits right above the motor it allowed oil to drip down onto the motor thus causing it to become defective. I found that to be a common problem with this engine and if repairing to also replace that faulty turbo gasket. I've had the bypass on for a little over a year and soon will be looking for a permanent fix. Some of the things that I have noticed since the bypass is the engine sounds like it's working harder especially at high speeds.

The swirl motor is spring-loaded with the flaps normally in the open position [Re: WK Jeep shop manual sec.9-2713] so, this modification won"t harm your engine. As a matter of fact, my Jeep came out of limp mode after just disconnecting the swirl motor and driving for about an hour though the check engine light stayed on. However, be sure that the problem isn't broken linkage. If so, you can remove the swirl motor without pulling the turbo, tie off the linkages in the open position, [you can use some wire to secure the right side linkage to one of the swirl motor mounting bolt holes, and on the left side place a clamshell-type of paper clip on the linkage to prevent closure] and put the swirl motor in your sock drawer. BTW installing a catch can, or even a dump hose will prevent the gumming and sooting up of your intakes. ;)

Жыл бұрын

No that does not require any programming, and I constantly reuse arms that are loose, what I’m almost certain is happening is your actual Intakes are probably gummed up again. Meaning without this assembly you cannot get the carbon that’s built up out of the inside of the rods. You see years ago I made a video about cleaning intakes because people would try to watch other peoples videos and they would show you how to clean them but they could never clean them properly without disassembling them. So I invented a process where I am able to do this and clean them properly. What I found before that when I tried to clean them was if I left them out of the vehicle for 3 to 4 days they would lock up even though when I was done cleaning them they moved and worked. So fast forward a couple years to 2020 if I remember correct I finally figured out a way to do it and because KZread videos pay 2/10 of a cent obviously I capitalize off of my discovery it requires special machinery to do it correctly from what I’ve discovered. You can reach out to me on clay’s AC and Auto Repair over Facebook messenger send me an email if you discover that that’s your problem thenewclayway@gmail.Com Look on my Sprinter playlist and you will see various videos about me cleaning these and some additions I made to the process like deleting them without re-programming.

What I think your problem is, is the little plastic clips that goes around the ball joints on the actuator motor, if you don’t reuse the old ones.... the new clips are too tight and restrict the motor from moving freely.. so always test the movement of the actuator after assembly! Make sure they are returning freely.

Now I'm pretty sure that if you disable the swirl flap power.....The valves will end up closing because there's no power to keep them open?

Have you tried it with your 2010?

Tried this hack on my 08 2500 sprinter with no luck.Still in limp mode.

Awesome video. Resistors do not have polarity, so the direction of the resistor probably does not matter. I also wonder after this mod if the flaps stay open or stay closed.

Well it’s hard to tell because they can get stuck open or closed. Either way it doesn’t make a difference. Although this is a temporary solution for a problem that needs to be taken care of not a lifestyle

Hey, just checking in after a few years to see if anyone regretted doing this mod. I’m about to do it myself but figured I’d ask the experienced their thoughts. Thanks

Really depends on what year you have if it’s later than 2009 it probably won’t work or work very well since creating this solution I’ve created a better solution where I delete the flaps you’ll have to look in my Sprinter playlist it’ll show an arrow pointing to the arms on the thumbnail

I have a 2008. Would you still remove the runners?

Are swirl flaps really required? I mean if you live where there is no emissions laws are enforced? Can I just remove the butterflys and get the swirl flap systems disabled from the ECU, or fit do the resister mod?

I’ve done it before and the vehicle ran great after it was reprogrammed actually got better fuel mileage. So I suppose the short answer is yes

4.7 Ohm Resistor Color Code: Yellow, Violet, Golden, Golden. Resistance: 4.7 Ohm, Power Rating: 0.25 Watt, Approximate Maximum Current: 231mA .

I was quoted fifteen hours and $6K Canadian for this repair. "replace left side swirl valve actuator" while they were in there they were going to replace some seals and other things just cause they were in there. I haven't done the repair because my van starts and runs like clockwork. zero issues, so hard to get motivated to spend 6K. Anybody else ignored this problem away? Or does it always lead to a limp mode morning and subsequent job loss, addiction, divorce, famine, halitosis, etc..?

Hey Clay :) Back for more! 2008 Dodge Sprinter here. The codes i have are P2015 intake manifold runner position sensor/switch circuit closed 2953-1 right ekas closed 2952-2 left ekas open and 2513-1 intake port shutoff actuator signal fault. My van drives with poor acceleration and turbo doesn't kick in although no turbo related codes. Could this possibly get my turbo working again like yours did in the video? Is it worth removing the fuel filter and trying zip tie both ekas open if possible along with the resistor? Thank you again. Love the channel. Very Helpful :) Willing to give it a shot... 299k right now

Well, it only cost about two dollars to try so you can do anything but…. When you have the sensors, you have to delete the intakes or at least clean them and or replace them.. obviously I do all of that you can reach out to me on clays AC and auto. I don’t recommend continuously running your van with the resistors in there because it will plug up your exhaust. But it may work for a short period of time.

Hi clay, I tried your hack in a Mercedes’ Benz sprinter 2012 and works properly because the turbo come back to work but I don’t why now I have a problem with the coolant. When I turn on the engine and I accelerate start to lose the coolant from the intake I think because I can’t see any leak on the hose and you can see smoke after few minutes. This is really wears because before to did the hack was working perfect and this happened just after hacked. Do you have any idea what is happening?

Hi had you heard something about that, I get a 2008 dodge sprinter 2500, I’m getting the code 2641-008 B60 (Exhaust back pressure sensor ) plausibility error, I just change the sensor and still the code it’s coming back right away it’s cleared, I Check the three wires plug connector, looks ok 5v, solid ground, good continuity signal wire to the Pcm, I put some extra ground from the battery to the frame and motor, Pcm case and nothing, i tested both sensors in another car and works good, the lifedata is showing always 5000 hpa or 72.3 psi i think it’s a default value. I check in the other good car and shows the same with the plug disconnect. Any of you guys has heard anything about that, any ideas what could be, thanks
